There are a couple of options where it would be below street level. One has a more "natural" look (like the Mission Reach), and the other is a mix (Museum Reach). And like you pointed out in one of the options, there is also the option in that stretch to not expose the creek, just for a walkway to connect and to be spruced up.

Here you can see that it goes below Commerce:



I'm assuming if a path below street level were the case, that it would be able to be closed if overflow were to come up. It already appears that the flow would have to be adjusted seeing as how it is currently a crik or a "leak", not so much a creek.
